It’s probably never going to be “the right time”. Don’t keep putting it off.
She doesn’t get to tell you how you feel, so if and when she argues with your feelings, do not engage. There is no argument. You don’t have to convince her that you deserve to feel that way. Just say how you feel again.
As a regular person living in the US, I think you’d be delusional to think that you can do anything about it.
We HAVE to bring politics into it, because IT IS politics.
The dreaded Analysis Paralysis!
I’d like to hear how it turns out.
I rarely get a chance to spend hours paying games anymore, and when I finally do get the chance, I can’t ever decide what I want to get into. I’m definitely better off focusing on one thing and milking it dry until something else grabs me. My son will flip through games for 15-30 minute intervals. He’ll start up a new Fallout playthrough, shoot some things, and next time I turn around, he’s fighting a boss in Elden Ring.
Let’s not ADGatekeep.
You didn’t even have to say the last sentence. That story was all I needed to hear to convince me!
My wife already had to stop taking one of her meds because it’s over $900/month with insurance. The doctor visits required to just get me a script would put us in the red.
Fuck the system.
I had seriously been considering trying again after a doctor told me “lots of people thought that they developed mental health problems during COVID” and that “those drugs are just performance enhancers that let you cheat at life.”
But between that and finding out my insurance has a deductable higher than my annual medical expenses, I think I’m forgetting about that for another few years.
For me it’s: under-stimulated -> nap time.
Appreciated! And likewise to you!
Appreciate the info. I don’t think Betterhelp let me use insurance at all, or the $80 was in addition to what insurance covered.
You guys know how it is, I forget the details, but I remember being frustrated and broke.
A few months ago, I wasn’t feeling great, so I looked into Betterhelp, because I heard a podcast ad for it at the exact time I needed it. I went through the whole sign up process, only to find that they wanted to charge $80 a week or some bullshit. Since lack of funds was a big part of my depression, that just made me feel more hopeless.
So, can you save us all some potential disappointment and give us an idea of what this one costs before we waste time signing up for it?
Sorry. Only made it to the sixth move.
I came back to add this. I should have looked before I played it. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m here. I don’t know about everybody else though.
I was invited to attend the introverted procrastinators meeting… Maybe someday.
I can’t even tell you how many times I tried to put together a big event and had two or three people there.
For my 21st birthday, I didn’t even do the planning, my best friend had invited all our favorite people that we worked with and went to school with. He made plans for someone to drive us around and a list of the local bars that he wanted me to visit. In the end, it was me, that friend, and my girlfriend. We sat in a dive bar for about two hours until my girlfriend took us home because she wasn’t feeling great and didn’t drink.
That’s probably not even the worst one. I’ve had so many nights just sitting and waiting for everyone to arrive only to entertain the same two people that I hang out with every day.
I don’t have any great tips for you, because I don’t try to do things like that anymore, but I understand how you feel, and it just really sucks. Sorry it fell apart like that. Take a day to focus on you and I hope you feel better.
I’ll second this. The poison is in everything.
Birth of a Nation was a theatrical full length feature film.
I don’t use TicToc, but it’s not the cause.
Funny thing, I have an appointment on Monday and they’ve already sent me a text and email reminder, and a text and email to pre check in. It’s kind of annoying, but that’s what it takes sometimes!
At those prices, I agree.
